We hope you will save the date and plan to join us for an evening of cocktails, dinner, dancing and a silent auction to celebrate the community support that has helped thousands of people achieve housing stability.

Recently, Housing Forward has experienced an influx of families in our PADS Shelter. We know that being without a permanent house places extreme stress on families. Housing Forward is committed to placing a high priority on children and families in all of our programs.

Thank you to all of those who helped to support the Holiday Gift Drive program which paired generous gift donors to individuals and families in our Supportive Housing program and families in our PADS Shelter. This year we were able to support 109 individual clients who requested gifts for themselves and their immediate family members.

The 17th annual Sing-Along Messiah will be held on Sunday, December 3rd at First United Methodist Church of Oak Park. The event begins at 3:30 p.m., with all free-will donations benefiting Housing Forward.

If Thanksgiving is for thanks, why can't Black Friday be for giving back? At The Book Table, it is! Come celebrate the day after Thanksgiving with them and they will donate 10% of all in-store sales to Housing Forward.

Join with The Book Table on Friday for some holiday shopping and give back to the community at the same time!

We hope you will consider supporting us on #GivingTuesday, the global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide.

This past Thursday, we hosted a breakfast with our faith-based partners to celebrate our 25th anniversary, our impact and strategies for strengthening prevention and diversion services for those at-risk of becoming homeless and efforts to end homelessness for those residing in our shelters and on the streets.
